Born
A plague brought to this world
Seeking the end of a life
Throw all to the fire
Releasing all the pain and strife
Revealing a thought of existence
A thought too much to understand
By those devoid of persistence
And no empathy for fellow man
Take what you have
Take what you are
Take all away
Take what you have
Take what you are
Disguised as a false form of life
All the ashes and dust
None can conceive its lust
No conscience to stain
Mirroring the pain
Never understand
The life that's in its hands
Now
The nature of the beast revealed
Leave nothing to corrupt by its touch
Life precious to many
Disregarded, forgotten by the much
For those who preach desistance
Will beg now for deliverance
When they see what the future holds
For a life drawn in the cold
Take what you have
Take what you are
Take all away
Take what you have
Take what you are
Disguised as a false form of life
All the ashes and dust
None can conceive its lust
No conscience to stain
Mirroring the pain
Never understand
The life that's in its hands
